cold battery at 12.0V is flat cold battery at 12.8V is fully charged Voltage from alternator-regulator to charge battery when iding and running is typically 13.5 to 14.5V range A hot battery with the car just shut off will show the Vreg voltage then slowly decrease from this to its cold state (over hours). You can watch it drop with a volt meter.

The jokes just Stahl-ed for a moment? Please continue.

The injectors are simply based on a solenoid design. A coil of wire that pulls on a slug of metal when energized. Since the slug is not magnetized/polarized, the polarity of the coil is not important thus the connectors pos/neg are not impt....but Nissan did wire these all the same.

50 year 311 Roadster anniversary 2015 50 year 510/1600 anniversary 2018 50 year S30 anniversary 2019 soon hopefully there are cars in the pipe...not more jukes. Maybe the targa is the 2015 commemorative 311.

Usually it is the wiring and the connectors rather than the injector. Try swapping the injector connections between 2&3 or between 4&3 to see if the problem moves. (There is enough slack in the wiring harness to the fuel rail to do this). This trick is a quick way to determine if it is a problem in the harness/connector or the actual injector is dead. A good cleaning of all electrical connections in a Bosch EFI system is a wonderful treat to your car.

that is the best exhaust pun I have heard ever!

If it is in Calif. It needs surf boards on the roof to look right.

What is your fuel level set to.

Could be fusible links too....for loss of power to accessories. The ignition modules are prone to fail and start to randomly kill the spark until they cool. The ignition switch can also cause problems.

Be sure to fill the holes in the exhaust manifold where the pipes came through otherwise you will have a nice set of 6 whistles. This often happens if only the big threaded holes on the outside are plugged. We just solved this problem on a car by drilling and tapping the narrower hole where the pipe fit. We then ran long ss bolts through from the outside and ground the ends flush where they protruded inside. If you tap for a large enough bolt, the head will cover the big threaded hole on the outside and the manifold will look mighty purdy.

Police on motorbikes pulling people over for not wearing a seat belt? What am I missing? Glad your son is a great swimmer!

Good stuff Chuck! Try the fuel height at ~ 27-29mm and report back if you can. Also let us know what the jets, tubes, chokes, and motor details are. Data is king.

yup. Alternate hits on each side. Some penetrating oil on each side of the race will help too. Here is how I did the replacement http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/frontwheelbearings/index.html

This is for a 280z but a zx is similar http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electricalconnections/index.html One of the best things you can do to an L Jetronic car.

A friend of a friend did a hack job for me. There was enough metal with the top machined off. I was thinking that once it is flat, a cnc'ed plate of your design could be fastened to the top. As well, a tapped hole and right angled barbed fitting installed in the firewall end would allow the removal of the top vent fitting. You would simply have to mound an extension tube under the internal roof baffle to draw from the centre of the valve cover.

Nice to hear! What are the improvements? Better cornering or the 4.11 reved too high... or both? Did you loose much of the torque push when starting in first?

Great deal if they work. If not you will have to buy parts. Make sure all are the same series ie 42DCOEXX where XX is the same stamped on all 3. Make sure no broken bolts and all throttle valves move freely. Get as much of the intake and linkage as you can. If you want them rebuilt/restored I can do it.

I feel like a vulture.

Here is a nicely restored one for 30k.... nice wheels http://bragacity.olx.pt/datsun-240z-iid-441918651

Jim, I'm interested in... well you know what 147 does not have Dan I'm heading to our Z barn on Saturday, I'll look for a lighter ring et al.

Looks correct according to this site: Datsun 240Z/260Z/280Z Front Axle (Knuckle Arm, Road Wheel & Tire)

yup yup yup oui oui yes yes

Jim may want it. Too far away for me.
